What would you all think if we had a daily thread for healing?
I have noticed a bunch of DU'ers in pain, some emotional, some mental and some physical. Blue Iris pops in to the lounge about once a week asking who needs some light. I think it's a brilliant idea. Anyone else up for it? We could use initials of those who need some high powered love and just take care of business as a group and individually. Even if not daily maybe weekly would do.

3. Well I was noticing how many people seemed sad, sick,
looking for jobs, getting dental work, losing their loved ones through death etc. and I wanted to send light immediately, which I did but I wonder if we could just run a thread every so often and people could read, send some love and/or add to it. It's just a thought because when I see that it hurts me too. It could be the DU light thread or something.

7. I would like to add that we are all sending healing
out to you now, FreedomAngel. We miss you, and pray for your speedy return to DU.

This forum would not be the same without your youth and effervescence, girl.

8.  I'm up for it
When I took Silva (almost 30 years ago!), we were given index cards with the names of people who had a medical problem. They had written in to request the Silva meditators send healing vibrations their way.

Now believe me, I never thought in a million years I had any talent along this line. Imagine my surprise when, a month or so later, some of the people had written back saying there had been an improvement in their condition. I was so excited that I could help someone in this way.

With Silva, they taught us to hold an image of the person (we had never physically seen them) and imagine a white light around them. There were other techniques, too, and some of them are imprinted in my mind to this day. I remember one condition, which had to do with a woman's leg, her calf, to be specific. I remember envisioning the problem while at my levels, as we called it back then. I can remember "clicking" with the woman. She was one of the ones who had written back and said she'd seen an improvement in her condition.

12. I am a card carrying Silva Grad, too
I am alittle weak at the moment, due to my own illness, but would like to try to help. I have been having another flare-up since Thursday night. I am clueless as to what the problem is, but that is another matter.

I was good at sending healing to others, but no help to myself.

I can recall the class the when my Silva partner held an index card and I was to "pick up" what was wrong.
I felt I was a man staying in a cabin of sorts, wearing a black and red checkered shirt or light coat. I answered a knock at the door and a guy pushed his way in and hit me over the back of the head with a board. I FELT it! I was told I had to be careful because I pick up the actual experience instead of watching it.

HA! Just had an "Ah-ha" moment. I was watching a show the night before last on the Tsunami in Indonesia. I began rocking on the couch as I watched, slapping my cheek in grief...tears streamed down my face. I don't know what that slapping is, either...it just HAPPENS.
I was feeling THAT MOMENT, too. I began using my Silva techniques to bathe everyone in white light. All those terrified people, the people who lost their loved ones, too.

I did the same during Katrina. So many trapped, and I was beside myself with anger at how people were being left to drown, or forgotten, petrified for their lives and/or the lives of their loved ones.
I felt the anguish of the ones trapped. I rocked, wept, emailed the media, and DU'ed with my frustrations.

I pick up too much and internalize it. I don't know how to turn this off. Possibly, I could be more effective if someone could suggest how to insulate myself.

Just put the information in front of me, and I will be more than happy to do what I can.
I might not post my sentiments regarding everyone who is looking for help. Miss Manners might cast a disapproving glance my way, but I DO care about people...very much.
It actually takes MORE energy from me to type an appropriate response since I am way too critical of my writing ability than it does to send some healing and white light.
I am here for others.

13. Prayer research
Most of you may be aware that there is very interesting scientific research being done in the area of healing energy via prayer and good thoughts. Even in double blind studies it looks like there is considerable power in groups of people praying for a common goal, or for a specific person.
